General Discussion

As it seems I missed FileZilla when it did, I'm going to make a quick forum post of apps that have dropped Windows 2000 support (or are newer and never had it) for reference and to ensure that I haven't missed updating any. As of today (2010-11-23), the following apps do not support Windows 2000:

- Dia
- Google Chrome
- FileZilla
- Foxit Reader
- GIMP
- Inkscape
- Songbird
- SpyDLLRemover

Please let me know if I've missed any others.

Hello!

When you do an update of an app which contains optional additional localizations (like Pidgin), the updater will install it full, even if you have chosen "only english" on previous installation.

I would suggest too that there was a option to choose which localizations to be installed, because sometimes is a waste of space install multiple languages that will never use.

I have see [Illegal Site] make updates much faster, when a new browser version comming out then can i find on same day the portable version on [Illegal Site] blog and here only after many days...

Bernat works alone and here on PortableApps are many more dev's, is a little unlogical...

Are [Illegal Site]'s portable app's not good or why can he bring faster updates out?

Hello,

I tried to start Photoshop CS4 portable at computer under administrative rights and I failed. After I double click I get portable appl. splash screen and nothing happens further.
Same thing happens with DVDFabPortable application.
I use Windows 7.

Is there any solution or I can forget about any software under administration rights

Thank you..

If a program has DRM (e.g. SecurROM), is it still possible to make a portable app with it?

My brother bought me Dead Space as a gift, and after looking it up I realized that it had install limits and SecurROM DRM on it. I'd very much rather not install this DRM stuff on my brand new computer, seeing as how I had problems with it in the past. I'm okay with installing it on my old computer though, if I can make a portable app with it.

Why is this the case?

Anyone?

I have always noticed that question marks "?" appear randomly in my text files. All over the place in different locations. Very weird and strange.

Anyone else had this happen? What is causing Notepad++ to do this?

I do believe it's John T Haller's birthday today so I wish him the very best and how old are ya John? and correct me if I'm wrong

So my office now has bitlocker on all laptops, and remote drives that you may plug in, and it encrypts the usb key so it is read only unless you decrypt it. I am not super familiar with bitlocker, but what happens if I take my usb portable apps and put it on the harddrive, would it still be encrypted? Would it ask for the password?
I'll be checking with my IT folks, but I figure some folks may be interested or know of similar situations.
Also, IT says that I have to use Win7 pc's now, not Macs as bitlocker doesn't work with them, and there is a buggy add-on for the winXPs.
